St Lucie Dolphin

[krisis7]

Went out of St. Lucie this morning. Seas were flat, found a weed line NE of the inlet in 180 ft. Doubled up on Bonita early on, then followed a large Hammerhead shark for a while. Finally we had a nice Dolphin on. Had a chance at a second but it was not to be. Then after a while we had a small king skyrocket on the long rigger. Brought him to the boat and let him go. We then ran in to Pecks lake and Chummed up several Lane Snapper (6), 1 large Spanish Mackerel and 4 Bluefish. Forgot to take a lot of pics so here is the Dolphin and the Pelicans beggin for scraps…

Nice Work Buddy, I wish i was out there instead of sitting in my house staring at my 10,000 dollars worth of snow plowing equipment that i am about to sell for more rods and reels if it Philly does not get any damn snow this year hahaha.

Good catch! Did you try slow trolling live bait around that weedline? I can't wait till the big mahi show up in May!

We Trolled at 5-6 all day. We were working on adjusting our spread and changing up rigger lengths to see how it produced. The Dolphin, 1 bonita and the King were all on the Riggers today. We trolled the riggers short and the flats a litttle longer, normally it is the opposite for us. Then Blue/pink small islander and all pink sea witch was the bait of choice for these fish today.

You definitely cover a lot more water pulling the artificial and dead stuff. The mahi this time of year tend to be in small schools, that is why I asked if you pulled any live bait. When you get a mahi on tossing out a few swimmers can pull up his buddies and make them stupid. Don't forget to pull a chin weighted dink bally on one of your flats, that is a sailfish killer up your way.

Not a bad day for the dead of winter! Pretty work fellers. The tip on the livies to keep the bright ones behind the boat is a good one. They get silly and would bite a treble hook on a wrench!
